Marketing quotas aid cotton farmers under conservation plan
Secretary Wickard announced that under the conservation program farmers may sell all cotton within their allotted acreage without penalty. Quotas set marketing limits, with penalties of three cents per pound on excess sales, and loans remain available under the Agricultural Adjustment Act. He noted that wartime conditions reduce foreign demand, while domestic use rises, justifying quotas to stabilize income and adjust supplies to demand.
